I have some XML to transform that looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="test.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
   <SOAP-Env:Envelope 
xmlns:SOAP-Env='http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope'>
     <SOAP-Env:Body>
       <OUTER1 xmlns="urn:goobity-hoobity">
         <INNER>
           My Inner 1
         </INNER>
         <INNER>
           My Inner 2
         </INNER>
       </OUTER1>
     </SOAP-Env:Body>
   </SOAP-Env:Envelope>


If I remove the 'xmlns="urn:goobity-hoobity"' specification in the 
OUTER1 element, I can successfully transform the XML using the following 
stylesheet:


<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet
      xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">
   <xsl:template match="/">
     <html>
       <body>
         <xsl:apply-templates select="//OUTER1" />
       </body>
     </html>
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="OUTER1">
     <h3>My Transformation</h3>
     <xsl:apply-templates />
   </xsl:template>
   <xsl:template match="//INNER">
     <font color="blue"><xsl:value-of select="." /></font>
     <br/>
   </xsl:template>
</xsl:stylesheet>


But if I try to transform the XML with the 'xmlns="urn:goobity-hoobity"' 
specification in OUTER1 still in place, I get no output.  How do I 
successfully transform the XML while the xmlns="urn:goobity-hoobity" 
spec is in place on the OUTER1 element?

Thanks for any help/info
